Thai & Malaysian Cookery Classes

We are lucky enough to have met Chorchaba Harper a fantastic Thai chef who grew up in Thailand and has been in the UK for many years teaching cookery classes. Her philosophy is for you to get hands on and will be shoulder to shoulder with you engaging your five senses of touch, look, smell, hear and most importantly heart to achieve those authentic Thai flavours.

Chorchaba was about seven years when she started cooking and used to sell fishcakes at the local railway station to commuters on their way to work. This meant getting up at the crack of dawn in order to make them fresh each day (no refrigerators in those days!). Her fish cakes must have been popular because she sold out everyday!

So began a life based around cooking. “As I grew older I learned how to cook more and more dishes until I had a fair repertoire of recipes on which to build a career. I will take you through the years of my childhood by showing you the very dishes I was taught as a girl by my Aunt to whom I owe so much.”

Chorchaba will be hosting a series of 3 hr evening classes and 4hr weekend cook and dine evenings so you can enjoy the intricacies of Thai & Malaysian cookery throughout the year.

Thai cuisine is one of the tastiest foods on the planet – fresh, healthy and potentially mind blowingly spicy! This is the second in the series of our 3 hour Thai masterclass teaching you how to create your own red Thai paste and how to use it to create delicious dishes. You will eat as you cook through the evening and take home any extras.

Thai food is all about combining bold flavours to experience sour, sweet, salty, bitter or spicy tastes in a meal. Authentic ingredients are readily available but frequently misused or misunderstood. If meat is included, it tends to be shredded, fish is served whole with delicate spicing, rice and noodles accompany…the aromas and tastes are exceptional!….You’ll be booking the flights to Bangkok!

Red Thai Paste – enough to use for each dish and some to take home – bring a suitable container!

Thai Fish cakes

Red Thai curry

Thai Stir Fry

What’s included:

Glass of prosecco, beer or soft drink on arrival. Enjoy the food you create throughout the class and any leftovers can be taken home if you bring suitable containers. Food Sorcery can’t take responsibility for any food taken away from the cookery school.

Join Chef Chorchaba for a Thai inspired menu for our popular Cooking Together evening

Cooking Together: a fresh take on dining out – included in Manchester Confidential’s Top 10 Manchester Pop Ups & Supper Clubs!

Ditch the conventional restaurant meal and have fun with your partner or friends. Become chefs for the evening, chopping, slicing, squeezing and peeling to create a restaurant-inspired meal which you’ll enjoy eating in the company of others.

Our Cooking Together events are as much about chatting and relaxing as they are about learning and eating. The evening is led by Chef sharing his knowledge and love of food, offering a sprinkling of tips and tricks along the way. The evening is topped off with appetizing ways to present your dishes so you can take Instagram-worthy foodie photos of the fruits of your labour!

Cooking Together nights can be exclusive for groups of ten or more – if you have something in mind, get in touch.

What you will Learn

Chef will demonstrate a first course for you to recreate in your pairs and then enjoy together around our communal table. There follows a demonstration of the main course before it’s your turn to cook again. While you enjoy your meal, Chef will prepare a delicious pudding.

Some example menus are below. Please feel free to make requests in advance of the event. Food Sorcery ingredients are seasonal and locally sourced. Allergies, vegan/vegetarian options always available on request.

Example menu – the menu changes every six weeks

First Dish – Lab Gai

Second Dish – Thai style fish with crispy ginger and tamarind sauce

Pudding – Let us surprise you!

What’s included:

A complimentary glass of wine or beer on arrival (soft drinks also available), and the food you prepare. Copies of the recipes will be emailed afterwards. Most importantly, you don’t even need to do the washing up; all the fun, none of the work.

If you are lucky enough to travel in Malaysia, your senses are swamped with noise, colour and smells – the sum of many delicious parts, Malaysian cuisine’s influences include Chinese, Indian and Malay.

In some ways it’s similar to Indonesian food, with the two nations sharing many of the same dishes. (Warning: debates over dish origins can turn nasty in these parts — such is the passion of the region’s food lovers.)

This class is a mixture of demonstration and hands on cookery, together you will prepare dishes that you will sit and enjoy together at the end of the class with a well earned meal!

Examples of what you might cook:

Malaysian Fish Curry

Beef Rendang

Malaysian Achar pickle

Murtabak

Deep fried fish with sweet chilli sauce

What’s included:

Glass of prosecco, beer or soft drink on arrival. Enjoy the food you create at our sociable table at the end of the class – if there are any leftovers you are welcome to take them home if you bring suitable containers. Food Sorcery can’t take responsibility for any food taken away from the cookery school.
